Perth Training & Obedience Dog Club Inc. (PTODC) is a dedicated sports club based in Melbourne that focuses on providing effective, science-based training methods for dog owners of all breeds. The club's main goal is to help owners develop a strong bond with their furry companions through leadership, trust, and cooperation.
At PTODC, obedience classes are offered to cultivate a positive relationship between owners and their dogs. These classes provide opportunities for socialisation with other dogs and teach essential skills necessary for polite behaviour in society. The club believes in using cutting-edge training techniques based on scientific evidence to achieve real-world results.
For those interested in a more active and thrilling experience, PTODC offers agility classes. This sport is designed to thrill both owners and dogs, as it is a rare sight to find a dog that doesn't love agility once properly trained. Classes cater to both beginners looking for a fun night out with their furry companions and those interested in competing at a higher level. It's important to note that dogs must be at least 12 months old to participate in agility training.
PTODC takes pride in being affiliated with Dogswest and conducts Dogs Australia sanctioned trials and competitions. These events are open to dogs of all breeds and aim to encourage growth and development in both dogs and their handlers. The club's main objective is to promote a strong bond between owners and their dogs while ensuring an enjoyable experience for everyone.
PTODC has been serving the dog community since 1973 as a passionate not-for-profit organisation. The club is run by a dedicated committee of volunteers who are committed to serving the dog community with enthusiasm. Trainers, who are also club members, selflessly volunteer their expertise to help fellow dog enthusiasts in the community.
Membership with PTODC is affordable, at just $60 per year. Members gain access to top-notch training classes and can choose from a wide range of options, whether they are beginners seeking an enjoyable night out or advanced participants aiming to compete at a high level. The club's training approach focuses on building a solid bond between owner and dog, based on leadership, trust, and cooperation.
